Study on Menthol Cigarette and E-cigarette Regulation

This study is looking at how changes in menthol regulations might affect people who currently smoke menthol cigarettes. Researchers want to see if providing non-menthol cigarettes, tobacco-flavored e-cigarettes, menthol cigarettes, or menthol-flavored e-cigarettes impacts how many cigarettes people smoke each day. You might be able to join if you are an adult (21 or older) who smokes at least 5 menthol cigarettes daily and has a smartphone. The main goal is to measure changes in how many cigarettes you smoke daily over six weeks. The current status of this study is unclear.
